Why did Hoegan whip the shyt out of David Flair with a weight belt while Ric watched handcuffed?

[Dusty Bake Activate]

That shyt was lowkey disturbing. He was hitting him with the belt for real and Flair was saying stuff like “fukk you” the whole time and you can tell he was serious.

What was that about?

cause hogan a piece of shyt and more than likely fukked both them over cause he aint wanna do the job

The Hulkster's a textbook sociopath, brother

Flair loves being treated like shyt. I remember reading his book, he talked so much shyt about wanting to kick Hoegan’s ass for this incident. Fast forward to the ‘05 HOF, he’s kissing Hulk’s ass and not long after that carrying his bags in TNA.

Cause Hogan is a piece of shyt that was taking advantage of the situation

Hoegan was supposed to hit him once or twice but instead took liberties. Why ? who knows. Could've been getting back at Flair for something, could've been some power trip getting caught up in the gimmick, could've been coke'd up - probably some combination of all the above.

It's also another in the long list of examples where someone did Flair dirty and he talks about being done with them and wanting to run the fade just to end up being buddies again not long after.

I can't front, I laughed my ass off watching that shyt live back 1999!

LOL, I probably did too.

Flair seemed OK with it here:


Here's the match where it happened for anyone who hasn't seen it. The whipping begins around 21:40

Did Hoegan really dislike Flair like that though? Maybe Hoegan is just a textbook sociopath like someone said and he just did it because he could.

Looking back at old matches it’s crazy how much Hoegan fought like a heel during his face days as a megastar. He raked eyes, raked backs, hit people with chairs, etc. Like did I just not notice this as a kid?

That's because Rick Flair always been a p*ssy, he one of the biggest pussies in wrestling business ever. Hogan knew it, everybody in the locker room knew it. Flair can't fight for shyt, every match is the same. Entire gimmick is borrowed from older generation wrestlers. He got into business by carrying the guys bags, you watch them interviews of guys who worked with him and most of them hate Flair cause he a piece of shyt who will be friendly with you first but then backstab you at any moment.
Still boggles my mind how many fans consider rick flair one of the greatest professional wrestlers. He's a mark who worked his way up kissing people's asses

Hell, son. The basis of the damn character is that he's a reformed heel who's seen the error of his ways and is now using heel tactics against heels to give them a taste of their own medicine. It's like if Mr. Marcus started giving VD's to sex offenders.

Hogan was a POS for that!

 

[Mike the Executioner]

Is it any worse than what Undertaker did to David Flair?

Ric seriously had his own son getting his ass whipped on national television multiple times. I know he looks at Charlotte and thinks, "How did it go so wrong for me? "

Watching It Back That shyt Was Pretty Tame, Hogan Went Light On The Boy
